Outboard Trawler Project

We've been away for a few days but we're back at it now.


The day before we left, while I was working at the boat, a freak windstorm came ripping through the harbour. I had removed a temporary motorwell cover and tied it to the cabin roof. The wind picked it up like a kite and swung it about, hammering about six dents into the cabintop and breaking a corner of the cover.



I sanded the dents yesterday and mixed a batch of epoxy to fill them.



This morning, I sanded the epoxy putty and painted over the area with a bit of the original 2-part polyurethane. Problem solved!



Donna continues to paint Kiwigrip on the interior walls.



The little boat just keeps getting nicer and nicer.



Today, the new docks arrived.



We had front-row seats from Helen Back's cockpit.



The company brought along an excavator on a barge, along with all the cement 'dock anchors'. I imagine it will be another day or two before the docks are all secured in place.



 

Thanks for reading our blog!
